Walt Disney Co. said Josh D’Amaro, will succeed Bob Iger as chief executive officer of the entertainment giant, ending a three-year search to replace its long-serving leader.

D’Amaro, a 28-year-veteran of the company, will succeed Iger effective March 18, the Burbank, California-based company said Tuesday in a statement.

The head of Disney’s Experiences division, by far the company’s biggest source of profit, D’Amaro, 54, was chosen from among several internal candidates who were in line to succeed Iger. They included Dana Walden, co-chair of entertainment and head of TV; Alan Bergman, also co-chair of entertainment and head of film; and Jimmy Pitaro, ESPN’s chairman.

Iger has been personally mentoring potential replacements, according to the company, an attempt by the board to ensure succession goes smoothly after botched efforts in the past.

I read that as chefs lmfao

At least until Iger gets tired with “retirement” and decides he wants to be CEO again.
